Sometimes people can be extremely insensitive to other people, and in this case, the story of one guy’s body-shaming messages went viral. A woman dumped her boyfriend after he criticized her for gaining weight, even though she never actually gained any weight while they were together. The woman, whose name is Shelby Johnson, shared her now viral break up story.

Sharing the story of her boyfriend’s insensitivity might not have been easy, and in doing it, Shelby Johnson shared a lot about her past and her own issues with her body. In addition, she talked about how she overcame those issues and feels better about herself now. So rather than just being a story about how a woman dumped her boyfriend, it was also a story of body image issues and body-shaming.

After this awesome woman dumped her boyfriend for his body-shaming messages, she received a lot of support on her social media. Eventually, her story went viral, which she was not expecting. Her now ex-boyfriend also wasn’t expecting it, and even though he has been roundly criticized for his behavior, Shelby admits that she just wanted him to see the error of his ways.

The story began when Shelby shared the conversation she had been having with her boyfriend on Twitter, saying “My partner said this to me. Am I overreacting for feeling hurt by this?

Seeing these insensitive messages, it’s easy to understand why this woman dumped her boyfriend. In addition, she added that she has weighed 120 pounds for five months and met this guy two months ago, so she didn’t even gain any weight while they were together.

Then came the tweet that everyone was waiting for: Shelby announced that she had officially broken it off with her boyfriend, while also noting that he hadn’t expected his body-shaming messages to go viral.
